I don't know about you guys but I saw some awesome things that I really liked about Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag at E3. I'm a big fan of Assassin's Creed since the first one and I just got back into AC3. I came across some multiplayer footage from IGN just today and I gotta say it looks great. New game modes, maps, graphics of course, theme. The whole pirate thing is pretty badass. Here's the video by IGN that shows off the Multiplayer. It's got some funky music but don't be repelled by that please just stick it through and watch the video haha. Check out these awesome trailers for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and tell me what you think of the game. By IGN By IGN By AssassinsCreed Display your love for the games below.

Without knowing a thing about Halo 5 then there's not a lot that people can say. However I say hell yes.

Rumors have been going around that there is a possibility for cross-platform gaming with the next gen consoles. For example if some players are playing Destiny on PlayStation Network and other players are playing it on Xbox Live then they'd be able to play together because they're playing the same game. Now, I don't think that they'd do this simply because of the competition between the two gaming consoles and although it'd unite a gaming community, that's not what business is about. Keep in mind that these games are being held on the same developer servers. Here's some things that others had to say: Azaxx says, "Across PS4 and Xbox One, it has a very slim chance. It works because of being consoles, but may not happen because Sony/MS. And PC to consoles simply will not happen. Way to OP for PC to be playing." Halo5 follower said, "well, there was a rumor that the PS3 game, Dust514, would be able to play with Xbox. However, that was just on Youtube, so the reliability of it was pretty low. If microsoft can talk to Sony then a guess things may start to happen..." Contrary to the beliefs above Ledgend 1221 had this to say, "With Games like ESO, I'd say there's a chance it will happen. At least I hope so, it would be fun to duke out the rivalry in an online arena. PCs should remain separate, too much of a gap." Archangel Tyrael chimed in about PC cross platforming as well as console and said, "I don't think cross platform servers will be done. Mainly for PC; PC will dominate for these various reasons: 1.) Easier and precise aiming. 2.) Modding can be done easier and hackers. This will be a serious problem. 3.) More control. 4.) Putting PC players and consoles players together would cause a lot of butthurt fanboys and unfair gameplay. That's just for the PC. Now I am not saying it's impossible for Xbox and PS to share servers, but in my opinion, it wont happen. Xbox and PS are rival consoles. Not only that, there is already servers for Xbox and Sony; that leads me to think they will be to their own console. While, it might be nice it just wont happen and shouldn't because of the last PC reason -- even for MMO's like: TESO, and anymore that are to come." TexHellsAngel376 has a similar belief to mine and told me, "I don't think MS and Sony will stop fighting enough to do it." Will the dream of cross-platform gaming ever become a reality? Discuss and leave your thoughts below.

BEAUTIFUL coverage buddy. I'm gonna take a while watching these. The gameplay video, although a bit unflattering for the game, still shows some good qualities and to me looks pretty close to Halo when it was made by Bungie but for a different type of game. (A shared world first person shooter instead of a mission style first person classic shooter.) By the way I love XPlay and Adam Sessler. I love Morgan Webb even more though

Welcome to the site Ishmael! Sorry for our word censors blocking you out even though you weren't trying to be profane. Hope you like it here.

AWESOME! EGYPTIANGHETTO Congratulations on becoming a Legendary Member. You didn't need the title for us to know you were a legend on the site, but it looks good!

Here's a very late welcome to the site Vangelis! I hate D-38 Boss, maybe I'll like you! Jk Boss..

I don't think it will because it says the journey will begin on the Xbox One in 2014

Great book for sure. It's great to play the game first AND THEN read the book because you get the answers to things that you don't see in Halo: Combat Evolved

There's news that this could be in fact a Forerunner Sphinx. Check here on Archangel Tyrael's post for more details. He goes into great detail. Here is a sketch of the Didact's War Spinx. This is not official but you could see that this concept has a striking resemblance to what's seen in the trailer. Notice in the bottom right of the page that when it's in flight it is closed, no wings are spread nor legs just like when it comes up from the ground in the trailer. This is from Halo Nation.

Tweet at BS Angel, @bsangel, and she might tweet back. I've heard it works and she could be very reliable and responsive to short answers on Twitter.

There is a tail.

Victory Element has made it a point in his break down that Chief is not bearing any weapons which could be an indicator that he is separated from the UNSC. Find his thread here.

FL Studio is probably the best but I'm already used to Mixcraft so I'm just sticking to that. It's pretty easy for beginners but the sound library is quite limited I have to say. FL Studio is the way to go in my opinion as well.

I can't tell if the UNSC or Halsey would be the enemies here. I've seen some great observations Victory good job. What I would like to bring up though is that it could be very possible that Chief's choice of whether he stays loyal to the United Nations Space Command or his creator and someone he looks to as a mother figure and the only person he's ever loved besides his Spartan brothers and sisters that died and Cortana. I personally would like to see him lean towards a dark path against the UNSC but find a resolution for both sides ultimately losing something valuable in the end but living to fight another day.

Ok so what we had right there was the E3 Teaser for Halo. There was no indication that it was Halo 5 nor any spin off or side story of Halo. I want to break down what I see in the video and point them out. I think that this was the faintest tease towards Halo 5. I'm also going to point out some cool points. Alright so you start the video and you see a desert land with dark skies and wind blowing which almost immediately made me think of Destiny by Bungie. This was done purposely obviously by 343 and was probably sanctioned by Bungie. You see a cloaked figure moving through the sandstorm in rags which is a clear reference to Destiny so I was very excited to see some interesting stuff on Destiny. Ok first cool point I noticed. At 00:23 you see the distant view of the figure walking and the ground behind him is falling out into a dune because it's sand. Now I may be looking far too into this or I may be getting exactly what 343's trying to do but to me this represents sands of time. The time is winding down for this figure to do something (possibly save someone?). 00:52 seconds in you hear a noise like something bionic or something like VOOM only not as loud as you're reading it in your head as caps. The ground also starts shaking about a second before and the figure is confused and begins to look around. As if there's anywhere else to look? All the rocks start floating. They're clearly visible in the sand because they're dark and no sand is floating, just the dark rocks. Are they really rocks? Yea probably because they sound like rocks when they hit the ground after. 01:04 the ground starts to cave in and up from the sand and apparently hardened dirt comes this massive robot if I had to call it something. I have to say it's probably Forerunner in origin. Here's the second cool point. Second cool point: While this giant thing coming out of the ground, you see the figure's arm and it appears he's holding dog tags of sorts. What it actually is, is Cortana's old data chip that he would put in his neural drive in his helmet. Here's a pretty decent picture of it that I screen printed and cropped: Ok so we see that there's a chain just going through the data chip that held Cortana which is a clear indication that this is after the period of Halo 4 and Cortana is still gone. How long it's been is impossible to determine. Third cool point: 01:34 the giant Sentinel or whatever it is, is still emerging and starts taking shape. It spreads what appear to be aesthetic wings and has legs even. And you can see the shape of it's head is almost like a very large version of a Promethean Crawler. When it finally reveals it's body after sending a pulse wave of some sort out you can see that this thing kinda looks like a metal dragon or something. Here's another pic I've screen printed and cropped: What the heck is this thing? Fourth cool point: CHIEF IS REVEALED! 01:40, the pulse knocks the hood of the figure and it's the Master Chief. His visor however is cracked (on only the right side)? I won't show a picture I'll just let you watch the video and see it clearly but it raises the question of why? Chief clutches the chain showing some emotion over his loss and looks the menacing object in its face let's say and you can see the glow of the eyes in the reflection of his visor. Notice one of the lights is brighter than the others or the rest at first but then both glow at the last second before it goes black. I don't know the significance of that but I can extrapolate that maybe it's for vision and attacking like Sentinels or maybe it's just the way the light was hitting Chief. 01:57 shows the Halo logo floating in the desert area which is an indicator that this place might just play a key role in this next Halo game. 02:02 shows a release year of 2014 and says that the journey will begin on Xbox One. Ok to me this indicates that the next Halo game will not come out for the 360 which I guess it shouldn't because it'll be next year and probably late next year because Microsoft is all about the holidays and money and what not. Not the point. Semi cool point: Floating shadows during this time in the middle. They move across the ground and are almost round in shape. They could be ships or I'm just going too deep into this once again. I think this is a Halo 5 teaser really for 2 main reasons: The first being because he's holding Cortana's chip as a keepsake because he's still mourning her loss and is showing emotion which is something 343 wanted to focus on. And because there's also a lot of darkness and an eerie feel like things are going to be terrible for Master Chief and that's something 343 said Halo 5 would be like: a darker game in comparison to others. I don't have a citation for that but that's what I've heard from a lot of people and read on Halo Nation. I hope we can discuss and build on this more. If you caught anything else please comment and share!
